That's true although again I would like to bring the first KOTOR as an example. Apart from bringing in the Force theme every once in a while it was all new music and felt very much in vein of John Williams' score. Conversely, the PT had fantastic soundtrack and it could not really evoke the same feeling.No great revelation here but on a strictly visceral level, Star Wars never "feels" like Star Wars to me without the music of John Williams. Seeing Rogue One really brought that home (which is not meant as a knock on Rogue One, I respect that it tried to do something unique).
But I've often wondered if the OT movies would have resonated with audiences as deeply as they did without Williams. I don't think you can overestimate the emotional heft and complexity he added to those movies. When the time comes and he's not able to perform that task, the new filmmakers will have some tough decisions to make regarding future scores. Do they go for some familiar imitation or strike out in a new direction?
Mmm, I thought TFA was really lacking on the soundtrack front but after listening to the OST album again I appreciated more and more. I don't know, maybe it's the audio mix or just need some time to get used to it. I really like Rey's theme, the escape from Jakku, Resistance theme, final duel and the Jedi steps are all really good themes.I felt the same.
To be fair though, I found TFA and TLJ to be pretty forgettable too. In fact, I can only think of Rey's theme off the top of my head.
Just so you know, that trailer is purely fan made, and in no way representative of what that movie could be. I say could, because it also has not been officially announced in any way, nor was Mcgregor officially attached to the project.And then there's Kenobi, the trailer is just not making me feel fantastic about the direction of the movie

If sex/nudity ever enters the galaxy far, far away then I am truly out.
Yeah, the Thala-Siren milking scene was one of those things you can't unsee. :wacko And totally vulgar for a Star Wars movie.
I doubt many people caught sight of, nor even had Oola's 'wardrobe malfunction', register as such when seeing Return of the Jedi for the first time. I don't remember it from when I was little, and even wondered a few years ago if it was 'slipped' in during the Special Edition reshoots. But unlike the scene in TLJ, the scene in ROTJ was quite natural. Situations like that can and do happen like that when thrashing about. It... how to put it, ...has a very vintage National Geographic feel about it. It's just part of life. Even TBS leaves that scene in their broadcasting of ROTJ. But seeing the Thala-Siren scene as an adult, it registers to me as though it was set up as a spread-eagle, flippered, glorified sploosh shot, and only included to be such; and that is just tawdry. Even Yarna d'al' Gargan's triple-bikini's weren't that gross because it was part of the culture and ambience within the scene. And, yeah, I kinda remember the lady with 6 boobies.
Need a sea-cow milkshake recipe? Sure, of course StarWars.com has one! Remember though, this is stuff you can't unsee... http://www.starwars.com/news/these-thala-siren-milkshakes-are-worth-a-trip-to-ahch-to
What the frell? That's just frackin' nasty! :sick May the Force help us! :lol
Now, can we have tasteful sexuality within Star Wars, absolutely! Padme's summer/lake retreat dress with its shoulderless, backless design, was STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS! The torn belly shirt in the arena on Geonosis was a little frivolous, but not completely gratuitous. Leia's metal bikini... O.K. it was a little gratuitous, but Carrie Fisher pulled it off with panache as the facial expression exchange between Leia and Luke was priceless! Besides, the world would be a lesser place if denied those scenes. Daisy Ridley's exhaustive fitness efforts don't go totally unnoticed and hidden away beneath her outfits as we are privy to Rey's wonderful unclad upper arms and calves. Her outfits are tailored, but not at all revealing. She's going the 'less is more' route and that's perfect for her character. In stark contrast Miss Ubbla Mollbro could have used an extra layer or two of clothing.
So do it to be natural, do it to be cheeky, but don't do it to be gross.
I would agree with that— do you think you could make a Star Wars movie that was successful without any of the visual cues we know? Like all new production design, no Jedi, no lightsabers, no plots characters from another movie.
I prefer to think of midichlorians as simply being microorganisms that thrive in force-sensitive individuals. A high midichlorian count would be an indicator that you are strong in The Force or that you have used The Force a lot ... but a low midichlorian count would mean nothing: you may be strong in The Force and never subjected to midichlorians in the first place.
Edit: The point of midichlorians was only to show that Anakin was strong in the force. It was a cheap way out. GL could have told it some other way but he was lazy. That's all there is.
Yeah - What makes a good Star Wars movie feel like Star Wars is quite limiting in terms of story telling and concepts. So as Disney continues to mine all possible corners of the universe to keep their investment profitable this 'feel' will start to dissipate. Though I imagine once Disney roll out more films than Lucas ever did, this 'Star Warsyness" will change more and more in to generic Sci- Fi fantasy and become the new status quo.
I don’t understand SW living beyond The Force part of this statement ? If the ‘ Force ‘ isn’t represented in some way ( big or small ) in a Star Wars film , why call it Star Wars ?
Why not not call it something else ... anything else ? ... It’d just be another sci - fi film wouldn’t it ? After all , the Force is strong in Star Wars films ! ... it’s what makes SW = Star Wars .
I felt the same.

All new production design? No, probably not. There have to be some visual cues. But no Jedi? No lightsabres? Yeah, absolutely. No characters we're familiar with? Yeah, I think so. Rogue One barely had any such characters, and I thought it did a fine job.
For sure. I actually found Rogue One to be cheapened by the force references, especially the Chirrut Imwe character. That whole thing felt gratuitous, and frankly, annoying. The movie was designed around a very "industrial" vibe, and his Force yammering encroached on all of that in an uninteresting way. Not to mention the whole "Force protection" scene on the beach. Off-putting and seemingly kinda fan-servicey on a few levels.
Not to rip on R1 at all; in fact, if you took out his and Baze's character (allowing room for a bit more personal exposition of the rest of the group, especially Cassian - what a potentially complex character!) and tone down some of the mega-distracting score to let some of the scenes breathe on their own, and you turn a really good movie into a freaking masterpiece.
As always, IMHO.
